Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Port Saint Lucie address and unloads right where you point.
Whether you are setting a paver patio or filling a sandbox, choosing the right sand matters. Port Saint Lucie gets about 60 inches of precipitation a year, so good drainage is essential for any sand layer that stays in place.
Two products we stock that handle most jobs are Mason Sand for fine leveling and mortar work and Washed Sand for concrete mixes and clean fill. Both arrive by dump truck to your address.
Sand splits into two categories: a base or bedding layer and a finish surface. Choose the product that matches the use.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Screened fine, works well in thin layers for a smooth finish. |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Washed to remove clay and silt, so it compacts evenly. |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Screen size chosen to reduce dust and stay soft underfoot. |
Budget projects use one sand across the full depth; long-term installations use a coarse base under a fine finish. Here is what works for common jobs.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Pool base | Washed Sand | 2 to 3 inches, compacted and leveled. |
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | 1 inch screeded flat before pavers. |
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | Fill around pipe to full trench depth, compact in lifts. |
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | Clean, fine sand for strong joints. |
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | At least 6 inches for safe landing zones. |
Port Saint Lucie sees about one day a year that drops below freezing. Even one freeze can heave an unstable base, so a compacted sand layer under pavers or a slab is important.
Soils mapped in the Port Saint Lucie area are commonly poorly drained. The ground around here is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained it takes water in slowly; where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. That is why drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in other parts of Florida. About 84 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which means the ground can stay wet for long stretches.
Plan the delivery around dry ground: a truck needs a firm surface to reach the drop point.
Sand is sold by the ton. Measure the area in square feet, multiply by the depth in inches, then use the sand calculator on our site to convert volume to tons. That number tells you how much to order.
